White House coronavirus advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci debunked online theories promoted by President Donald Trump that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has changed its guidance for tallying coronavirus deaths, showing a fraction of total Covid-19 fatalities.
On Sunday, Twitter removed a post retweeted by Trump that claimed the CDC had “quietly” updated its guidance to indicate only 6% of the country’s coronavirus death toll — roughly 9,000 deaths — was actually caused by the virus, according to a CNN report. The tweet said the remaining 94% had “other serious illnesses.”
Fauci told the ABC program “Good Morning America” on Tuesday that the CDC guidance, last updated on Aug. 26, indicates that of the people who have died from the virus, “a certain percentage of them had nothing else but just Covid.” However, people with underlying illnesses also die from Covid-19, he said.
“That does not mean that someone who has hypertension or diabetes who dies of Covid didn’t die of Covid-19. They did,” Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told the program. “So the numbers you’ve been hearing -- there are 180,000-plus deaths -- are real deaths from Covid-19. Let (there) not be any confusion about that.”
“It’s not 9,000 deaths from Covid-19, it’s 180-plus-thousand deaths,” Fauci said.

Fire this Medical Hack.
the fraud fauci is a POS - very quick to condemn, nothing positive
time to go buddy... trump has dr atlas now.
Dr Atlas is awesome
Follow the money. The more deaths the more urgency for a vaccine. The more urgency the more demand it be mandatory. This means money for Fauci if he has invested in companies developing a vaccine.
His “position jumping” on masks made me doubt his science.
Doesn’t Fauxcy have ~10 hr of administrative duties to attend to most days?
Wow, that sounds like a Soros "manipulate the market and make gazillion$" ploy.
I thought he was supposed to stop talking for awhile. The guy just can’t stay out of the media and shut up.
There’s a reason why he’s still not fired.
Not sure why, but it’s Trump’s call and I’m assuming the end of these people will not be pretty. IF this indeed all is a hoax, then HANG THEM HIGH.
Fauci the Fraud is covering his rear end at every turn - The con-artist Doctor caused $Trillions in destruction - Fauci won’t say that the 180,000 is way short of the millions of deaths that he and House Brix predicted.
It is too bad that he can’t have his lips sewed shut. He is an absolute menace and, in a just world, would be tried for the vast increase in the non COVID-19 death tolls due to the lock downs.
Hey Fauci... ‘retirement’ is calling. Pick up the frigging phone already!
Sosays the pencil pusher who uses numbers to earn grants. He NEEDS deaths to be high. If they are low he is proven a liar and a fraud.
“Het\y wait nooo I am important I am needed I am loved ... I want to be wealthy ...
Effin liar.
It’s on!!!
Isn't he (Fauci) connected at the hip to that medical genius Bill Gates who is promoting a vaccine?
Is not Dr. Birx as well connected to Bill Gates?
Does not Dr. Birx's daughter work for Bill Gates?
These two (Birx and Fauci) are nothing more than snake oil salesmen!
I heard the other day that deaths due to COVID-19 alone were around 5,000 due to people with prostate cancer or heart attacks who were also positive for COVID-19 being classified as COVID-19 deaths.
